Prayer Prompt before reading LK 11:37-41
Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray well, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“THERE IS NOTHING CONCEALED THAT WILL NOT BE REVEALED, NOR SECRET THAT WILL NOT BE KNOWN.” LK 12:1-7
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
There are times I don’t feel important even when I am around people and family all day. We all have times in our life when we have been criticized or put down. We do it to ourselves and don’t love ourselves often times. Today, Jesus teaches us that we have great worth or value, our human dignity. When God created us He said our creation was “very good”. “Even the hairs of your head have all been counted.”
Sometimes I struggle to hold myself accountable, but as I have grown older I am realizing more and more how my decisions effect my life and those around me. The harder decisions and the ones that require more sacrifice are always the ones that bring the greatest reward and draw me to be more holy. It is silly for us to think that we are getting away with something when we are behind closed doors, God sees everything.
God knows us better than we know ourselves, “There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops.” We will be judged and held accountable. We are in control of our decisions and each one has a positive or negative consequence.
Don’t be surprised or try to defend yourself when you have made a bad choice. It is difficult because you may lose other’s trust and some will not forgive you. That is why we need a Savior, a God who is love straight through, who loves us even when we don’t deserve it. Learn from it, reconcile yourself with God, dust yourself off and keep trying to grow in holiness with God’s grace, an open mind, and an open heart. Most importantly, try to love more by serving others.
Today’s challenge: You have great worth because the highest Good created you and you are made in His image and likeness, believe in yourself. You have God’s Holy Spirit, this should empower you to never stop desiring to be holy and give you the confidence and courage to battle each day. Hold yourself accountable because God will. If you don’t trust yourself to be accountable, get an accountability partner.
Be a servant, become a saint!
